in which i discuss the anniversary of the day of my birth




so this is what i wore on my birthday (the 5th). i thrifted this princess-y dress months back, for $5. and it was totally worth it. it even has POCKETS. if you know me at all, you know how i feel about pockets. i love them. my friend javi came up and took me to brunch, and then we went down to old sacramento for a bit. later in the evening i ate pizza with some more friends. it was low key, but also nice. i had already gone out for food and a movie with anita, and then my parents are coming this weekend to probably go eat more food. if you can't tell, i like food. 
i also wore a ribbon in my hair, which made me feel like a disney princess.
my birthday didn't feel like a birthday this year. i turned old (25), and the boy was out of town (on the oregon coast, boo that whore). but nice friends make days nice. and so does delicious food and mimosas. 















this is javi, internet! we've been friends since high school, and long time pen pals.

dress: thrifted
shoes: payless

  5. ohymgosh what an AMAZING thrift find. this dress fits you so well and looks so cute on. and i love the bow in your hair. every girl needs to feel like a princess sometimes. and yeah. i will forever dress like i'm a kid even if i'm 24. or 25 (we must have been born in the same year). i love birthdays with just food and drinks with friends - that's how i would rather it be

  9. I hope you have a wonderful birthday! That dress is so lovely. What is it with pockets? I love them too. When I find a dress I like and realize that it has pockets, it makes me like it even more!

  10. Congrats! I hope you had a wonderful birthday, by what you've told it sounds super cosy and fun! That dress is wonderful, I feel the same way about pockets as you I think (meaning: YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH POCKETS) and having that cute princess dress WITH pockets is just dress-perfection. Also, my favorite thing to do on (my) birthday(s) is eat too. Food is just always good. :-D Your friend is hella handsome by the by!

  14. While I'd like to disagree and point that twenty-five is not old, instead I'll just wish you a happy birthday!

    Also, insanely jealous of you getting that cute dress for only five bucks!
